Without The Capacity To Provide Its Own

The Happiest People Spend Much Time In A State Of Flow - The State In Which People Are So Involved In An Activity That Nothing Else Seems To Matter; The Experience Itself Is So Enjoyable That People Will Do It Even At Great Cost, For The Sheer Sake Of Doing It.

One Cannot Lead A Life That Is Truly Excellent Without Feeling That One Belongs To Something Greater And More Permanent Than Oneself.

The Best Moments In Our Lives Are Not The Passive, Receptive, Relaxing Times...the Best Moments Usually Occur When A Person's Body Or Mind Is Stretched To It's Limited In Voluntary Effort To Accomplish Something Difficult And Worthwhile.

We Have All Experienced Times When, Instead Of Being Buffeted By Anonymous Forces, We Do Feel In Control Of Our Actions, Masters Of Our Own Fate. On The Rare Occasions That It Happens, We Feel A Sense Of Exhilaration, A Deep Sense Of Enjoyment That Is Long Cherished And That Becomes A Landmark In Memory For What Life Should Be Like.. Moments Like These Are Not The Passive, Receptive, Relaxing Timesthe Best Moments Usually Occur When A Person’s Body Or Mind Is Stretched To Its Limits In A Voluntary Effort To Accomplish Something Difficult And Worthwhile.

Flow Is Being Completely Involved In An Activity For Its Own Sake. The Ego Falls Away. Time Flies. Every Action, Movement, And Thought Follows Inevitably From The Previous One, Like Playing Jazz.
